Italian death metal act Humangled have signed on with Bakerteam Records for the release of the sophomore album "Prodromes of a Flatline." The album drops on June 23rd.

Born from the ashes of cyber-grind duo Putrid Sequence, Humangled officially debuted with the EP "Refoetalize" in 2007, which attracted positive reactions in the underground, leading the band to sign a deal with U.S. based label Abyss Records in 2010. The debut album "Fractal" came out later that year, followed by a second EP "Odd Ethics" in 2012.

"Prodromes Of A Flatline" is a brutal and uncompromising death metal powerforce, which was produced by the legendary Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Therion, Novembre). The album contains nine brand-new tracks deeply rooted in the old school death metal scene (Death, Carcass and Cannibal Corpse are amongst their biggest influences) but also infused with the band's strong personality. An outstanding cover version of Therion's classic 'To Mega Therion' is also included in the album.

Axis Of Metal and Abyss Records have teamed again to release a sampler - this twenty-five track compilation is a window into the audio madness that is Abyss Records. You can hear the songs below or over at Bandcamp here. Axis of Metal also comments:

"Throughout the course of this twenty-five track compilation you will make your way through a war-zone of extreme metal of the highest pedigree. This journey will consist of the many different incarnations of extreme metal ranging from black metal, thrash metal, death’n’roll, death metal among the many other varieties the fine folks at Abyss boast."

Italian death metal act Humangled has released a video for the track "Needles of the Blind" from the band's forthcoming EP entitled "Odd Ethics," due out in mid to late May via Abyss Records. The clip was directed by Andrea Falaschi and points out the blindness of medical science, describing the unpredictable damages of combined collateral effects obtained with therapeutic obstinacy.

Italian death metal act Humangled has recently completed recording a four song follow-up to the band's 2010 full-length, "Fractal." Entitled "Odd Ethics," the EP is set to be released in early/mid 2012 through Abyss Records.

"Odd Ethics" was tracked at Italy's Mel-1 Studios. Sound production was handled by Dan Swano (Unisound Studios) and the cover art for "Odd Ethics" was designed by artist Marko Somero.

Italian death metal band HUMANGLED has posted the music video for their song "Liquidfire" online. The track is taken from their album "Fractal." The album was released on May 31st via Abyss Records.
